There was no rocket fire at Eilat on Tuesday morning, an army source said. This, despite earlier reports on Tuesday claiming rockets were fired.

"I can say that there were no rockets that were fired at Israel," the source said.

The IDF is now examining the possibility that the Iron Dome anti-rocket battery stationed at the Red Sea city was activated despite the lack of rocket attacks, leading to interceptor missiles being fired.

There have been a number of rocket attacks on the city in recent months.
